RICHMOND, Va.—The ATM Card skimming attack on Virginia Credit Union is larger than the CU originally believed.
The $2.7-billion VCU says it has discovered evidence of information skimming at a fourth ATM location, now putting as many as 3,300 member debit cards at risk of fraud.
Last week the CU stated that it believes crooks obtained 2,016 cardholders' security information and money at two of its locations in central Virginia. Thieves had a device installed at a third location, but the CU found it before any thefts were made. (As One Virginia Credit Union Has Discovered)
Glenn Birch, spokesman for the credit union, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch the credit union determined that a skimming device was installed by a scammer at a standalone ATM off Iron Bridge Road near the Chesterfield County Courthouse.
VCU said they've notified each person affected, reissued debit cards, and refunded any stolen money.
The credit union does regular inspections of its ATMs and said it is working with law enforcement on this active investigation.
